For Melbourne there is a student study by the excellent ARCUE  of Rainbow
Lorikeets and the factors favouring their increase:

She refers to artificial feeding and I have seen Rainbow Lorikeets feedingon mincemeat put out by a dear old ladyin a park for the magpies (and b*** butcherbirds). And I know about 6 othermajor (nectar I think) feeding stations for lorikeets.....


But I'm surprised that Pavlina Shukuroglou could not find anywhere they
breed in Melbourne.

I know they bred in nest boxes in Bayside in 2002  and  have numerous
records of them by or entering holes in gums, banksias...  and evidence
(fledgling on ground) of nesting in Canary Island Palms....
